The Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) is a scheme by the Ministry of Health (MOH) that enables Singapore Citizens from lower- to middle-income households to receive subsidies for medical and dental care at participating clinics. CHAS has expanded significantly in recent years, and this could not have been possible without the increasing number of clinics and General Practitioners (GPs) participatingin the scheme.
To ensure appropriate use of public funds, auditors appointed by MOH conduct regular audits on CHAS clinics to ascertain compliance with CHAS guidelines. The CHAS audit covers clinical and financial aspects:
• Clinical — Clinics obtain patients’ consent, and maintain proper patient medical records.
• Financial — Clinics make claims for subsidies in accordance with CHAS guidelines, and submit accurate data for each CHAS claim made.
